Course overview

This course integrates a 12-month Foundation Training placement into year five. You will be matched with quality placement experiences to suit your aspirations. After successfully completing 39 weeks (of your 52 week training) you will be eligible to sit the GPhC Registration Assessment. Once you've graduated and passed the GPhC's Registration Assessment you will be able to apply to the GPhC to become a fully registered pharmacist.

Once you've graduated the GPhC will asses all your degree, training and fitness to practice before entering the world as a pharmacist.

Current students have co-designed our teaching to shape the future of your lessons. We integrate professional practice, drug prescribing and patient skills across therapeutic themes.

Learn how to assess, speak to and treat a patient (with actors). Role-play how to speak to different professionals in our very own Professional Development Suite.

Gain clinical interaction experience through placements in the community, GP and hospital pharmacies. You will develop your skills to advise patients and healthcare professionals on the safe and effective use of medicines.

You will run your own simulated pharmacy. This will be in a fully immersive commercial and patient-centred clinical environment. Practise patient counselling, drug dispensing and medicine prescribing.

You have the opportunity to fly to multiple places like Malaysia, Canada and Australia for your study abroad and research project. MPharm student Nora went to our Malaysia campus. ""There was nicer weather. It was quite diverse. Different cultures to see around you, and different forms of treatments.""

We will prepare you for the new one year Foundation Training employment. You will need to complete this following graduation to become a registered Pharmacist.
